My first attempt at striped icebox cookies! I like the concept of having cookies ready for baking, straight from the freezer. And when I saw Dalfour's strawberry jam on sale, I just knew what I had to do! Make strawberry jam stripe cookies, of course.

I made these during the first few weeks of summer this year, but didn't find time to post them up. Half-moon cookies, based on a Martha Stewart recipe. They're meant to have a cake-like base with a yin-yang theme of chocolate and vanilla icing. Not only visually pleasing, they're nice to snack on too. 

For the full recipe and pics-in-progress, please read after the cut!
